Daniel Hart - A Ghost Story (Ep. 48)
LISTEN
DANIEL HART is a performer and composer from Dallas, Texas, who has toured and recorded with bands like St. Vincent, The Polyphonic Spree, Broken Social Scene, Other Lives, and countless others.
In recent years, Hart has been composing music for film and TV. His feature film debut, Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, garnered him critical praise, and Filmmaker Magazine named him one of 2013’s 25 Faces of Independent Film. Hart has scored a dozen feature films over the last four years, including Disney’s Pete’s Dragon and the Natalie Portman-produced documentary Eating Animals. He also composed the music for Showtime's SMILF and Fox’s TV show The Exorcist. In 2017, Daniel Hart composed the original score to A GHOST STORY, released by A24.
David Lowry (Ain’t Them Bodies Saints and Pete’s Dragon) wrote and directed A GHOST STORY, starring Academy Award winner, Casey Affleck, and Academy Award nominee, Rooney Mara. The film is about a recently deceased person who returns to his suburban home, as a ghost, to console his bereft wife, only to find that in his spectral state, he has become unstuck in time and forced to watch passively as the life he knew and the woman he loves slowly slip away.
In this episode, Daniel Hart reveals how a number of key themes came to him by watching early footage of the film repeatedly, how he found himself being recorded playing solo cello for the first time, and how his song, “I Get Overwhelmed” originally written and performed for and by his band Dark Rooms, became a part of A GHOST STORY and how it ended up providing several key elements of the score.
